Spring is in the air (with some days still being chillier than others here in Minnesota!) but I have faith that summer is just around the corner so I’ve been gearing up and changing out the kids’ wardrobes in preparation. Today, I’ve partnered with some of my favorite kids brands to share some of our must haves with you.

Summer Fashions For Kids
It’s finally time to box up those winter coats and stock wardrobes for warmer weather! If you’re kiddos are in need of any new clothes or shoes, check out some of our most-loved picks.
See Kai Run

I’m loving the World of Eric Carle See Kai Run Shoes available this year. Inspired by the amazing artwork in Eric Carle’s best-selling children’s books, the World of Eric Carle collection of See Kai Run shoes for toddlers are a perfect choice for energetic little ones because they’re designed for comfortable, healthy foot development!

I went with the Jetty Pink sandals as I always have a soft spot for anything and everything pink. I’m so glad I did because these shoes are absolutely adorable! They feature two adjustable velcro straps along with an ultra-soft footbed. Super lightweight, they’re the re-imagined water sandal making them perfect for play at the park, beach, splash pad, and anywhere else summer adventures may take you. Our little Ruby knows that bringing us her new sandals and a bonnet gets her a trip outside to play almost every single time!

City Threads

From tops and bottoms to swimwear, City Threads offers a wide selection of comfortable, high quality clothes that feel as good as they look. Most styles are designed to be sensory-friendly with silky soft tags, minimal snaps and zippers, and they come in evergreen styles that combat fast fashion.

I also love the variety of sizes available at City Threads as I was able to grab my two younger girls (ages 1 and 8), coordinating dresses. Ruby got the short sleeved tiered dress in deep purple while Lucy chose the soft cotton jersey tank tiered dress in candy apple.

These dresses are classics! The simple styles are eye-catching and cute while also being extremely comfortable. These are the kinds of dresses that girls can actually play and have fun in as they can move, climb, slide, and run without any hinderance.

We seriously love these dresses so much that the girls would be thrilled to own them in every color. They just love how they fit and flow so well and the twirl-ability truly makes them a must!

While Out And About Having Fun, The Little Unicorn Outdoor Blanket Is A Summer Essential!

Once winter fades away and decent weather appears, our family LOVES hitting up local parks and splash pads as well as swinging through for a pizza pickup and doing an impromptu picnic. One thing that I insist we have in the vehicle at all times is the Little Unicorn Outdoor Blanket.
This Outdoor Blanket is water-resistant, easy to clean, durable, and compact; making it ideal for every family adventure. I especially love how it comes in three different sizes as well as some fun prints. It’s also perfect for those summertime parades. I know this blanket will be used a ton throughout the summer by our family and I highly suggest you check it out for yours too. The compact fold and carry handle makes it a cinch to bring on any adventure.
